ok engine has 241,xxx miles compression is within spec on all 4 cylinders, great power, actually chirps second gear every now and then haha, it burns a little oil and smokes consitantly STARTING at 3000 rpms with light throttle and just cruising. Also as that starts i get a slight stumble/miss from 3-4000 rpms light to mid throttle. under hard throttle no miss anywhere and definitely smokes/burns oil.
no wwith high milage i can see the rings being worn yes, but compression is in spec and definitely no loss of power… so im thinking my valve stem seals are shot, cause oil to be sucked in on the intake stroke while the valves are open?.?.??? could this be?
any other suggestions, thoughts, or ideas MUCH appreciated
thanks
